John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Dati inu tuba Nigburang na rani, nigbura nazi nigino me nan Asere, nigbura nigino me Asere mani.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Me mani datti unu tuba mazi nan Ugomo Asere.
3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being.
Vatt timumum, awuzi ahira ameme, daki a barka ire imum sarki me ba.
4 In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.
Me mani ivai irani, ivai igino me ya cukuno masaa ma nabu.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
Masaa mazin nu gido mareu, mareu me daki ma ranga masaa ba.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.
9 The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming into the world.
Kadure ka masaa me ka raani sa ka ehzi unee me sa mazi nu bezi anu masaa me.
10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through Him, and the world did not recognize Him.
Maa ra anyimo unee me, unee me wa cukuno atari ti meme vat anime unee me waa rusi in me ba.
11 He came to the things that were His own, and His own people gave Him no welcome.
Maa eh ahira anu meme, anu ameme wa nyare me.
12 But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;
Vat ibinani andesa waa kabi me, andesa wahemi in niza ni meme maa nya we nikara wa cukuno ahana Asere.
13 who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.
Ande besa ayoo inzo a maye ba nani usuro unipum nani unubu, usuro Asere ani.
14 And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.
Nigburang niginome na cukuno nipum. Anyimo aru ta ira ni nonzo nimeme, ninonzo ni vana u inde ugino me ahira acoo umeme, gbem ini mum iriri nan kadure.
15 John gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, "This is He of whom I said, 'He who is coming after me has been put before me,' for He was before me."
Yuhana maa bezi uni tisa in nikara magu, “Unu ugeme me mani maa buki tize anice nimeme unu guna, 'Desa ma ehze adumo am ma tekum, barki maa rani aje am.”'
16 For He it is from whose fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
Barki umyinca umeme taa kabi imum iriri aseser imum iriri.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Barki u inko utize atari ti Musa a nya tini urunta nan kadure. ka ciki ahira a Yeso vana Asere cas.
18 No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom--He has made Him known.
Daki a iri uganiya sa uye ma iri Asere ba. Vana u inde Asere me, me sa ma hibi abigiri ba acoo, me mani maa bezi me.
19 This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.
Yahaya ma beziwe imumbe samarusa, ine ini ayahudawa watumi ahira ana katuma kudege. Ugomo Asere nannan lawiya uhana urshalima wa ikime nani memani aveni.
20 He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am not the Christ."
Manno mabuki kadura, daki mawuzi matara nan weba ma; azomemani ugomo asere ba.
21 "What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
Wanna wa ikime wagun me aneni homami iliya me? makabirkawe, “A'a azomemaniba.” Wanno wagunme hamani unu beze tizeme? Manno magunwe, A; a”.
22 So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"
Wanno wakuri wa ikime hu aveni barki tikem ukabirka uweme barki tirusi imumbe satidi kabuka andesa tumanduru? Utisa nicce agi aveni?
23 "I am the voice," he replied, "of one crying aloud, 'Make straight the Lord's way in the Desert,' fulfilling the words of the Prophet Isaiah."
Makabirka we magun mi nigmirangnige sa nitisa anija'a nigusa nyani ugomo asere muriba mushime gusi imumbe sa Ishaya mazinnu boo me.”
24 They were Pharisees who had been sent.
We me, Afarisiyawa wani watumi we.
25 Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"
Wanno wa ikime barki nyanini uzorsanu azohu ugomo asere mani ba a zohu iliya mani ba hume unu bezizzi kadura kagino me?
26 "I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not know--
Yahaya makabirka we, magunwe me in gei mani in zorso anabon, uye maluri anyimo ashime sa iteshi me.
27 He who is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten."
Memani ma-eze adumo umunu be sa binyimo bakpatak ameme daki mabari in suso ini ma ba.
28 This conversation took place at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Awuzi anime ubatanya uni uhuru uraba u urdu uni, ahira sa yahaya ma zorso anabon.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin of the world!
Unu sana-ahira yahaya ma iri yeso ma eze ahira ameme, yahaya magu,”yaira mi vana ubitan bu gomo asere, desa madi ziki madini munee.
30 This is He about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because He was before me.'
Anime ani mabukishi uye ma eze adumo am, memani unaje am barki dati marani aminiba.
31 I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."
Dati maruseme ba me abezeme ayumu isaraila ma-ah ma zorsanu in maye.
32 John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.
Yahaya kaberka magu ma-ira bibewu bezennu tuzo. Kase kuhurge ka sure a zesare ku cukuno ane gerza numeme.
33 I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, "'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, and remaining, He it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
Dati maruseme ba, memani dese matumum in zorso anu in mayi, memani ma bukum dese ma ira bibew ba asere batu bikure bicukunu aneeh numeme memani. Ma zorsa anabu in bibew ba asere.
34 "This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is the Son of God."
Makure ire in kure beze, unu uginome vana asere mane.
35 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
Unu sana ahirs yahaya ma lure nan na nakatuma ana ware.
36 when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"
Mazen nuhira yeso mazen tanu manno magu irane vana ubetam baasere!”
37 The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.
Ahana akztumame ana ware sa wakunna ma rezo adeze, wanno wadusa wa tarse yeso.
38 Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--'Rabbi' means 'Teacher' --"where are you staying?"
Yeso magamirka ma iri wazinnu tarsa ume, manno maunwe, “Nyanini izin nu nyarame? Wanno wagun me, hu unu urusa abanga abanname unu unyenkike uciki abanie.
39 "Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.
Manno magun wae ayeni, i'iri.” Wanno waha waka ira ahira me sa machikin, wanno wahirii negome uhana azumo anazi unu wunjoro.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's exclamation and followed Jesus.
Unu idai ayumo ana wareme sa wakunna tize ti yahaya wanno wa kuri wa tarzi yeso, andarawas mani mazi uhenu u bitrus.
41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" --that is to say, the Anointed One.
Maubi ma uhenu umeme sa bitrus, takem Asere, “Memani asere ma hummaka maturi me.
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas" --that is to say, Peter (or 'Rock').
Manno mahan me ahira Ayeso, Yeso ma iri me, magun me hamani saminu vana u yahaya? adi tesawe kefas.” (ni neni bitrus).
43 The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him.
Sa ahira asana yeso mahiri udusa a manyanga mu galili, abini me ani makem Filibus magun me ano tarsam.
44 (Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.)
Filibus unanu betsaida mani nepeni numeme nan andarawas, nan bitrus.
45 Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."
Filibus ma kemnata-ala, magumme ta kem dey sa musa ma nyatike abanga ameme anyimo aka dura be sa ugomo. Asere ma inki men, ana kadura ka asere wa kuri wa nyentika abanga ameme, memani yeso una anu nazere, vana u yusufu.
46 "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip.
Nata ala magunme ade kem imum ihuma unazarat me filibus magun me aye u'iri.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!"
Yeso ma-iri nata-ala ma eze ahira ameme, magu ina nu ana ira'a ni, unu u isara-ile nun ukadura, de besa mazo me ini mum izenze a puru ameme.
48 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."
Nata-ala magunme urusam abane? Yeso ma kabir kame ma gunme udaniya, sa wara akurame filibus matitiwe mamu rusawe.
49 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"
Nata-al ma kabirka me magu, “Una kura huu vana asere mani hurugomo isara'ila mani!”
50 "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things than that."
Yeso makabir ka me, “Ma gumme mi maguna huu mairawe akura uzunu bezi kadura, ude ire imum be sa iteki iginome.”
51 "I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man."
Yeso ma bukime ane ani mabuka, “Shi ide ire a zesere a harzena Malika asere wazen nu yize nan na tazu nan vana unuboo.
